Halo Landfall
Here’s a little bit of nostalgia to start off your week. Remember this? For years, I thought it was either bootleg footage or a fan project. The only video I could find of it was on some kid’s YouTube channel at 144p. But no, it’s official Bungie. Here it is in HD.
Reconsidering my newsletter
One of my writer friends made an interesting comment the other day. We were talking about email newsletters, and he pointed out that Jordan Peterson’s 5th rule, “don’t let your children do anything that makes you dislike them,” also applies to newsletter subscribers. Obviously, I don’t think that my newsletter subscribers are my children. But… Continue reading Reconsidering my newsletter

Don’t get me wrong: I still believe in the top-down approach to short stories, where you start with the highest paying markets and work your way down. And I’m not going to write anything specifically… Continue reading Should I submit to non-paying markets?
